Big brave you.

"Tough" for your customers more like, who didn't have any choice in the matter anyway. Not so much for yourselves who chose to wash your hands of supporting something you *designed* to require your support, but stopped caring about because it wasn't bringing you any fresh income.

Especially as you get the chance- sorry, excuse- to sell them more disposable-by-design shite.

Anyone else hate that formulaic, weaselish style of PR speak that turns something like this into a self-aggrandising excuse to act like *they're* being Big Grown Ups Making Hard Decisions Because They Have To- and not because they chose to do something self serving- and bearing the pain, when it's their customers being forced to suffer?

Ugh.
